So the Fall brought us Trader Joe’s Apple Caramel Granola, this winter we have been graced by yet another seasonal granola variety. This is Trader Joe’s Gingerbread Spice Granola. But if you loved the sweetness of the Fall’s seasonal granola, I’m not sure you are going to like this. And yes, this granola is vastly…
Trader Joe’s Lip Treatment Duo
So, true story: Just the other day I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about, of all things lip scrubs. Lip scrubs are new to the beauty scene and up until this set I have never bought one. I mean with all the scrubs out there, who would think you need one…
Trader Joe’s Gift Ideas
So it’s that time of year where gift giving is the theme of the season. While you can’t get the latest 4K TV at Trader Joe’s, you can get the smaller gift items that would be appreciated. I’ve broken down a list of gift items at different price points to help you and your budget….
Trader Joe’s Spirited Fruit Spreads
Let’s be honest for a second, whenever you get a “gift set” it would seem that there is at minimum at least one item you don’t truly care for. This might be true for anything sold as a set. Usually you get one item you really, really like and then you muddle through the other…
Trader Joe’s Body Scrub Trio
It isn’t often that I complain about value at Trader Joe’s. Usually, that’s a high point for me. I usually believe that Trader Joe’s does provide an average or better value. Now, if this is your first holiday season shopping there then you are none the wiser. Or if you aren’t a blogger, you might…
Trader Joe’s Spicy Shrimp Appetizer Duo
For about a month, I’ve been putting together a list of the worst things I’ve had from Trader Joe’s. If this wasn’t seasonal, it would make the list. How bad was it? Well, the conversation in my household went something like this: “How was lunch, honey?” my husband asked me. “I’m making a new one,”…
Trader Joe’s Black Truffle Alfredo Pasta Sauce
Behold, a two for one review. While most of this will center around the new and seasonal Black Truffle, I made it with the new seasonal pasta, Garganelli. Which by the way, looks a lot like a candy cane color. But for right now, truffle seems to be the flavor of the winter time. And…
Trader Joe’s Vegan Jackfruit Cakes
Cookie Butter had its year. I’m pretty sure 2018 was the year of Cauliflower. Are we seeing Jackfruit as the food item of the year for 2019? Perhaps, but time will tell. And it will all be based on how good the products coming out are. But for right now, there is now an additional…
Trader Joe’s Bath Fizzers Set
If you are thinking about doing some holiday shopping at Trader Joe’s, then perhaps skip the sweets and start looking in the health and beauty aisle. This year there seems to be no shortage of new and fun items. This bath fizzers set is one of the new items I was excited to get into.
Trader Joe’s Crispy Vegetable Pouches
My husband and I are suckers for having appetizers in the place of dinner. However, this box became just my dinner. I didn’t want to share these. Now, don’t judge me to harshly when I say, I like Chinese food better cold rather than fresh out of the takeout container. And there is a connection…
Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer Holiday Guide 2018 Matchups
Welcome to another matchup of Trader Joe’s reviews with those items featured in the Holiday Guide a.k.a the December Fearless Flyer. Lots of new items have been landing seemingly daily. And as always there is lots of good stuff to try, but let this be your review guide to the reviewers who have tried these…
Trader Joe’s Bourbon Cake Mix
If there was on holiday food memory other than cinnamon rolls, it was making a rum cake with my mom. It was nothing fancy nor was it a family secret. Nope, it was the classic 1980’s Bacardi Rum Cake recipe. It was moist, boozy, delicious, and had the shelf life of a fruit cake. I…
Trader Joe’s French Onion Soup Bites
It’s cold as anything since Thanksgiving. We were just talking the other day at work how in New York we feel like we are down to having 2 seasons instead of the normal four. We all feel like we have summer or winter.
Trader Joe’s Herbaceous Cheesy Bites
The dessert aisle this year is killing me. So I’m taking a much needed break from it. So far I haven’t seen a ton of new appetizers yet. Perhaps it is too early to say, but I thought they would be out by Thanksgiving. Shelves in my local store have already been packed with Bacon…
Trader Joe’s Fresh Cranberry Orange Relish and Kettle Cooked Turkey Gravy
If there is one good thing about going to a Trader Joe’s before the holiday, it’s that the people in there seem just a big more kind and jolly than most grocery stores. The other grocery stores near me, the customers are miserable. Worse, the employees are even more miserable. So I hope you’ve done…
